Chapter 2: Samantha

A few short hours ago...

"Target acquired..." A woman named Samantha said into her sleeve. "Good, hold your position..." A disembodied voice said into her ear. She was crouched in a tree viewing a scene she had never dreamed possible. There was a whole group infiltrating a supposed "empty" building filled with what she was told were vampires. Samantha didn't believe in such creatures. Werewolves...Zombies...Vampires...those are just stories to scare children on Halloween.

Yet here she was...sitting in a tree on her first stakeout with D-11, trying to find vampires. The man she was supposed to be tracking was tall, dark and mysterious. "Hmmm...yummy." She chuckled to herself. He did fit the idea of what vampires were supposed to look like.

"The last person who was supposed to be tracking him was just reported missing...you cannot take pictures of vampires, and they sense when someone is following them...even if no one else knows...so be light on your toes..."The person on the comm said. "I've got this...don't worry." Samantha replied. "Good luck...and be on guard...over and out..."

"What's so important about this guy anyway? I mean he is taking care of vampires, so why is he so special?" Samantha mused. From where she was positioned she had a plain view of all that was going on. She saw a lone woman among a lot of men. "She has to be a 'vampire' as well..." Samantha said to herself.

Samantha looked back to her main target. He was looking right at her and grinning. Samantha quickly became very self-conscious. She saw him, but he wasn't just looking at her, he was looking through her. He saw her soul and that thought made Samantha feel shivers go down her spine. She was getting very uncomfortable. It felt as if time had stopped. No matter how uneasy she felt, she could not look away. His eyes had taken a hold of her, and she was powerless. Then all of a sudden it stopped. She blinked andlooked around, but he had disappeared. "Samantha here...I have been spotted by the target, locating a new position. I repeat...my position has been compromised..." "Don't worry...we're done for the night. Pack up and move out." The voice in her ear said.

Samantha climbed down the tree and ran the three blocks to her car. "Time to go home." she said to herself while climbing into the modest car. She took a deep breath and blew the strands of black hair out of her eyes. Her eyes were the brightest green that there ever was. She was fit and could hold her own against anyone or so she thought... After another deep breath she drove the long way home trying to comprehend what was going on in her life.

She did not understand how she had gotten where she was. She had been the head of her class at the academy and had chosen to go into the intelligence division for D-11.Was this really where she wanted to be...? Before she knew it she pulled up to her apartment building. Getting out, she had a strange feeling as if she was being followed. She hazarded a glance behind her but saw no one.

Still feeling uncomfortable and alert she hastened up to the door, unlocked it and jogged up to her door. She fumbled with her keys and dropped them. "Whats wrong with me?"She said to herself. She never got edgy, but that man...the 'vampire' had done something to her.He made herfeel weak and vulnerable.

"I have seen you, human...Why are you following me?" A booming voice came from behind her. She jumped and turned around, only to find no one there. "Whos there?" she called, forgetting her keys.

"Why are you following me?" Came the voice again, but this time a man slowly emerged out of the shadows. 'It's him!' Samantha screamed inside her head. The vampire was stepping closer and closer to her. Samantha was speechless, and yet again she couldn't tear her eyes away from him. She blinked and found herself only an inch away from his face. She was intoxicated by him. He was wearing glasses, but she could feel his eyes burrowing through her.

"I...I-" Samantha blurted. 'What are you doing!' she screamed at herself. "I'd like to know what you are doing as well..."Alucard said. He had read her mind... She found her voice not as strong as she would have liked, "Who are you? Why...why are you here?" She had gotten some ofher nerve back. "You didn't answer my question...why are you following me?"Alucard asked again. He could tell that he was getting to her. "I...dont...know..." She was losing whatever grip she had had. "Good night..."Alucard said. He lifted her hand and kissed it. Then began to walk away. He tipped his wide brimmed hat and melted away.

Samantha was like stone. She couldn't move. Her hand burned where he had kissed it. She released the breath she didn't know she was holding. She breathed heavily, and slowly began to calm down. Suddenly, she remembered that she had dropped her keys. She bent down, picked them up, and unlocked her door. Before she entered she took one last deep breath. "This is gonna be a long night..." With that, she entered her apartment...
